    Jeremiah 20:11-16, 38:20 KJV

    When you feel everything around you seems to be falling apart?

    My interpetation:

    1 Peter 1:3 KJV

    'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, '

    "The story of Jeremiah during the fall of Judah is a profound example of faithfulness and divine protection amidst overwhelming adversity." Jeremiah 20:11-16 KJV

    Ways we can have God's hand over us and faithfulness is to have a clean heart and thoughts ( Jeremiah 29:11 KJV) keep God's morals when living life. Believe God's word for bread of life and living water.( John 6:35 KJV)

    Morals- right from wrong , good from bad.

    God has blessed me believing in God's word for bread of life and living water.

    John 6:35 KJV

    Ways you can stand firm and not conflict for example in Jeremiah 37 KJV. Are Allowing us Christians our hands to see God, work and accomplish for us and succeed. - Mark 10:43-44 KJV. Genesis 39:3,6,23 KJV

    Ways you can overcome conflict is by having faith , praying, reading God's word.-holy bible.

    Recognizing God's hands at work. Jeremiah 38:20 KJV

    In Reference to Jeremiah 38:20 KJV My interpetation: "it shall be well unto thee and thy soul shall live." Because you come from God-" 1 John 4:4-7KJV. Your are God's son- 2 Corinthians 6:18 KJV.

    Seeing myself born of God made into his image Genesis 1:27 living as God identification of male/man in this world but not of it has blessed with God and of him and his church to partake of the consolation which provides support and aid.

    Support- To sustain, to act,represent well as to support, to support the part assigned.

    Those who believed in Jesus Christ origin ( Christians)who had faithEphesians 2:8-9 KJVand the church to both show the truth were the partakers of the consolation.

    - Refrence example in 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 KJV

    Jeremiah 20:1, Yeah, sad when someone of trusted positions act corrupt, cruel & evil, abusing their authority, especially in the house of The LORD our GOD! Proverbs 15:3, that's why GOD sent Jeremiah to prophecy to them. Jeremiah 1:4-19, Jeremiah 4:1-6, notice Jeremiah 20:1-6, Jeremiah 7,

    But then: Jeremiah 3:12, Jeremiah 12:15, Isaiah 51:11, Isaiah 35:10, Isaiah 44:22, Isaiah 55:7, John 3:15-21,

    Even today we see hypocrisy but Jesus already knew, lived it & gave us direction : Matthew 23, Matthew 25:31-46,

    Hopefully these are helpful

    We're not told why Hannah was barren; she may have been as many women in the world are in all ages. Yet, we do know that God does have a purpose in our lives & for our lives. What we might consider an impediment or a disadvantage that we have that others don't have, may well have a reason behind it, for that which we are not privy to. And especially as we give ourselves fully to the Lord for what we are & all that lies ahead in our lives, then we know that all that comes to us is known of the Lord & allowed for a reason.

    In hindsight, we could then say that Hannah had to be brought to the place where her grief was so great (v10), that she had to be cast upon the Lord for help. And at that time, in the Lord's Plans for her & Israel, that grief, that pleading, that vow to the Lord, would be the catalyst that would put the Plans of God into the next phase, that of giving Hannah's body the ability to form an embryo. And true to her vow to the Lord, young Samuel was dedicated into the Lord's service. What if Hannah didn't vow to do this? Or she just continually wept over her predicament & led a miserable life with Elkanah? God could have still raised up a prophet to fulfil His Plans, as we see in the account of Esther (Esther chapter 4): that if Esther didn't approach King Ahasuerus about the great plight of the Jews, then God would give them deliverance "from another place" even though Esther would have suffered for her refusal. I somehow see a similarity to what would have been Hannah's fate of miserableness had she not performed that which the Lord put on her heart.

    Why God closed Hannah's womb?( 1Samuel 1:5,6)

    Thanks

    On JEREMIAH 20:7

    The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and not for any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). If it records in Rev. 12:9 that this whole world has been deceived, it did not speak of a particular country, group of people, person or religion, it meant the whole world.

    For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15) this whole world has been deceived and what mankind must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

    The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting), is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and there seems to be a great misconception what the true 'spiritual' meaning of the word is. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.

    Only through Repentance will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1) and reveal to you how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and overcome this world ( 1 John 5:4).

    The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

    It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It should be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

    Verse 11~Jeremiah had complete trust in Jehovah God and this helped him to be courageous and carry out his commission to preach.
  • Obbie Beal on Jeremiah 20 - 7 years ago
    WOW, WOW, WOW! Jeremiah is not alone.... the day has come (2017) and it is our time,... we must stand or put our head in the sand... WOW, WOW, WOW!
  • A disciple on Jeremiah 20 - 7 years ago
    Even though the LORD had foretold everything to Jeremiah, about how the people would NOT receive him nor hear his words, but would fight against him; yet still, when he actually begins to experience what God sees every day, it is hard! We wishfully [mis]-think that if we really were mature in the Spirit, and could speak perfectly as right from the Lord, that people would receive it as a blessing.
  • Bobby Wright on Jeremiah 20 - 7 years ago
    I think that God was showing Jeremiah even in his on trials going to jail being beat
    that grace still protected him.
  • A disciple on Jeremiah 20 - 7 years ago
    "Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?" Since Cain murdered his brother; since the entire human race that once had the knowledge of God refused anymore to receive the striving of the Spirit of God; since the Nations have made the doctrine and spirit of the heathen their Natural Mind; the whole creation waits on God's vengeance.
  • BSP on Jeremiah 20 - 7 years ago
    In verse 9 Jeremiah had reached his limit. He honestly expressed his feelings to Jehovah God. We should do the same by earnest prayer.
  • Peter A. Okebukola on Jeremiah 20 - 8 years ago
    Jeremiah 20: 11 is particularly striking and a promise children of God should hold dearly. The Lord will be with us "as a Mighty Terrible One".
  • Blesing on Jeremiah 20 - 9 years ago
    Jeremiahs words reminds me of Job whose situation was much worse than Jeremiah's. The prophets pain of his present situation consumed him that he forgot God's promise that He will be with him. This is a very big lesson to us when passing through trials, let us know that God is there watching us and ready to help us if we will endure and persevere.

    Jeremiah was a man of God, a man who feared God. You can quench the power of the wholy spirit, and thats how Jeremiah felt

  • Evangelist on Jeremiah 20 - 10 years ago

No even crack coca in! I am healed. Thank you Jesus! Amen!!!!!

  • Mindy ferguson on Jeremiah 20 - 11 years ago
    I to experience the things like Jeremiah and Jesus the false accusations and etc. But praise God for greater is He who lives in me than he who lives in the world
  • Anonymous on Jeremiah 20 - 12 years ago
    Jesus' life on earth was like Jeremiah's. People came and blessed the day of His birth. The angels said 'Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will toward men', but his life was persecuted, cursed, falsely accused of and put to death. He didn't give up on Himself. He must have known the greater outcome, bottom line things that men don't: that His kingdom is not of this world. What hold does death or persecution from men have on His kingdom?
  • Joyce on Jeremiah 20 - 13 years ago
    It is amazing that God is so potinient and and will blow you from the inside out!!!powerful and mighty His Word. You can't stay closed up you have to tell it.
  • Mary on Jeremiah 20:11 - 13 years ago
    If the Lord walks with me as a mighty and terrible one, I don't have to fear any evil for when terrible is ahead every persecutor will hide before the terribles does something terrible to him. I love it. It has encouraged me. Just to know that my enemies and oersecutors cant win against me.
